Abbey of Saint-Cybard, Romanesque abbey ruins in Angoulême, France.
The remaining north wall of the abbey church features architectural elements from the medieval period, including sections of chapels near the former cloister.
Founded in the sixth century by Saint Eparchius, the monastery experienced Viking raids in 875 and later adopted Benedictine rules in 938.
The abbey held religious significance as a Benedictine center until 1568, when Protestant forces captured Angoulême and destroyed the monastery structures.
The site contains preserved architectural elements that display the construction techniques and religious building patterns of medieval French monasteries.
Eight sculpted capitals from the Angoumoisine chapel of Beaulieu were integrated into the nave during the nineteenth-century reconstruction period.
